Small frame, can I do 400cc moderate silicone implants instead of high profile?

Implant Size
Jul 20, 2015

More important than the volume of the implant are the dimension and the shape. That means, that especially in your case of a small width chest, the base width of your breasts (that is the distance measured horizontally on the top of your breast from it most medial point to its most lateral point where the curvature starts). An implant should never have a larger diameter than this distance, otherwise you risk your breast being joined in the middle or bulging laterally beyond your frame. I…

I’m 5’3, 165lb, 37b and fear I’m getting way to big implants. Any suggestions?

Size of breast implants

The volume of the implants does not say all. Actually dimensions, such as diameter, projection, etc. are more important. That being said, in my 20 years of experience as a plastic surgeon with my special area of expertise being breast surgery, I have never implanted anything larger than 650cc and that was in a patient who works in the erotic industry.To give you another perspective: many manufacturers don’t even offer implants much larger than 600cc in their regular line and require…

Eyelid Surgery
Jul 20, 2015

It is quite natural to worry about such issues after eyelid surgery. I am doing a lot of these procedures and I can assure you that at this point it seems there is nothing to worry about. While it is logical to compare your own experience with those of your friends, remember that every case is different and not everybody heals at the same pace. The final result of a blepharoplasty will be seen after 3 to 6 months with the major part of the swelling being gone by 4 weeks. So you…

How can I help myself recover quick from male breast reduction surgery?

Jul 20, 2015

It is hard to tell without seeing you, however, in my practice I do a lot of male breast reductions for gynecomastia. What you write does not appear to be unusual or even worrisome. The postoperative course is very rarely symmetrical and it may well take considerably longer for the swelling to go down on one side compared to the other.I think it is quite important to wear good compression garments for 4 weeks after the surgery and limit physical activity for that time period as well….

Feeling Ready Is Not Being Ready!
Jul 20, 2015

It is great that you feel well after the surgery, but I want to warn you, not to overdo it now.I frequently see patients of mine, who feel just fine, only days after their surgery and become too active early on. You have to realize, that such surgeries create large wound areas, even if the incisions might be relatively small. Your body needs a lot of energy and rest to ensure (further) proper healing. If you become too active at this point, you will propagate swelling, possibly formation of…

Does my breasts at first glance appear hypo-plastic or underdeveloped?

hypoplastic breasts

Thank you for your question.As far as I can tell from the pictures you submitted, you have normal shaped breasts with small volume, so nothing pathologic, just small breasts.I think the best way to help you would be transaxillary complete retromuscular placement of smooth, round silicone gel implants. There ist a quite elegant technique for this that I show in two videos on my YouTube Channel so you can get an idea about technique and possible results. One is in English, one in German, but…
